Rahel Frey (born 23 February 1986 in Niederbipp, Canton of Bern) is a Swiss racing driver and manager. She currently serves as a sporting director at Team WRT, in charge of their GT racing programmes.[1][2]

Frey began her career in junior formulae before graduating to sports car racing in 2010.[3] She later became an Audi factory driver and competed in numerous series for the German marque, including two seasons in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters and a top five at the 2014 Bathurst 12 Hour.[4][5] Frey has participated in the 24 Hours of Le Mans eight times and is the second most experienced female driver in the event. She is part of the first all-female crew to win an FIA World Endurance Championship race in class, winning the 2023 8 Hours of Bahrain in GTE Am for Iron Dames alongside Sarah Bovy and Michelle Gatting.[6]
